Disclaimer: I moved all around the US and chose Byran / College Station, TX as my permeate home and the town I would grow my portfolio.So I turned to Fred Economic Data to look at a comparison of the home indexes over the last 40 or so years. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/gr...As you can see the blue line (Bryan College Station) is less volatile than the red and green lines (Austin and Houston).

We had to replace all floor coverings (all rooms had cigarette burns and permeated smoke odor into the carpet and pad, had to clean-seal-repaint all walls and ceilings, deep clean all cabinetry and every surface in the unit.  

Humans are made of the same building blocks that permeate the Universe.I am a man of Science but even that view is flawed because we can only interpret what we perceive.
